Bottle at the Belgian Embassy in Oslo. Looking nice in the glass, with a hazy, orange body and an off-white head. There was a lovely spiced aroma, with malt and some hops blending nicely in. Quite spiced for a tripel I think, but lovely. The spices weren’t that evident in the mouth, which also was nice, but more on the malty side, with pale malt and a fruity touch. Some hops giving bitterness as well. Effervescent, full-bodied mouthfeel, and a lasting, spiced and quite bitter finish. Yummy! (080410)

Sep 26, 2008 (Bottle, 0.33 l, at Vastarannan Kiiski, Helsinki, on 2008-09-25) Orange. Hazy. Small white head. Sweet malty nose with some tomato and raisin aromas. Bit sugary palate with medium carbonation. Sugar, malts, chocolate, frutiness, some vegetables, bitterness and tiny hint of sourness in taste. Nice.

Sep 22, 2008 330ml bottle (Vastarannen Kiiski, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks) - shared by JK54B and Alpha<br />
Hazy orange. Tomato juice aroma (horror memories of Bud Light Chelada come streaming back...), fruity too. Soft palate at first, but very drying after a while. Biscuity and grainy taste, but lots of fruit too, and tons of tingly hops. Hoppy finish. The tomato was only really noticeable in the glass that had the yeast poured into it.
